1. Two Invasions
The stakes are high in the
Ukraine: after the coup, as Crimea and Donbas asserted their right to
self determination, American and Russian troops entered Ukrainian
territory, both under cover.
The American soldiers are
“military advisors”, ostensibly members of Blackwater private army
(renamed Academi); a few hundred of them patrol Kiev while others try to
suppress the revolt in Donetsk. Officially, they were invited by the
new West-installed regime. They are the spearhead of the US invasion
attempting to prop up the regime and break down all resistance. They
have already bloodied their hands in Donetsk.
Besides, the Pentagon has
doubled the number of US fighter jets on a NATO air patrol mission in
the Baltics; the US air carrier entered the Black Sea, some US Marines
reportedly landed in Lvov “as a part of pre-planned manoeuvres”.
The Russian soldiers ostensibly
belong to the Russian Fleet, legally stationed in Crimea. They were in
Crimea before the coup, in accordance with the Russian-Ukrainian treaty
(like the US 5th fleet in Kuwait), but their presence was
probably beefed up. Additional Russian troops were invited in by deposed
but legitimately elected President Yanukovych (compare this with the US
landing on Haiti in support of the deposed President Aristide ). They
help the local pro-Russian militia maintain order, and no one gets
killed in the process. In addition, Russia brought its troops on alert
and returned a few warships to the Black Sea.
It is only the Russian presence
which is described as an “invasion” by the Western media, while the
American one is hardly mentioned. ”We have a moral duty to stick our
nose in your business in your backyard a world away from our homeland.
It’s for your own good”, wrote an ironic American blogger.
